Ophionyssus natricis is a purely blood sucking parasite of snakes and of worldwide distribution. Infected snakes often exhibit lethargy, pruritus, crusting dermatitis, and behavioral changes. Ophionyssus natricis can also attack humans, causing popular vesiculo-bullous eruption of the skin. A 29 years old man working in zoo, Sari, Mazandaran, Iran, presented itchy papullar eruption of the skin. He had noticed small insects fixed on his skin and large numbers of these same insects on a python and its cage in the zoo. Regarding totheir morphological characteristics they were diagnosed as O. natricis (Geravis, 1844), a snake mite. It is the first report of O. natricis from Iran.

纳氏厉螨是一种专性吸血的蛇类寄生虫，分布于世界各地。受感染的蛇通常表现出嗜睡、瘙痒、结痂性皮炎和行为改变。纳氏厉螨也会攻击人类，导致皮肤出现丘疹性水疱大疱性皮疹。一名29岁在伊朗马赞德兰省萨里动物园工作的男子，出现了皮肤瘙痒性丘疹皮疹。他注意到有小昆虫附着在他的皮肤上，并且在动物园的一条蟒蛇及其笼子上发现了大量同样的昆虫。根据它们的形态特征，这些昆虫被诊断为纳氏厉螨（Geravis，1844），一种蛇螨。这是伊朗首次报道纳氏厉螨。
